Early this morning John’s temp broke and has stayed below 100 so far today. Praise the Lord! He still is dealing with the headache, which keeps him in bed, not feeling like walking around or eating. He did eat a little yesterday and they are hoping he will eat some later today. All of his tests are coming back normal which is good news and means that his headaches are most likely being caused by the ATRA. The Doctors are going to take him off the ATRA for 1 to 2 weeks to see if it will help with the headaches. They have experienced success with this approach in the past. Another word of praise is that John has not received any blood products for the last two days. This is also very good news. They are changing his pain meds around, still trying to find the right balances to give him the most help. John is looking at staying in Riley for at least another week. John and the family are in a bit of a waiting game right now as the medicines are doing their work, and his body is trying to respond. Pray for his headaches and continued treatment. Pray for the family as they travel; make preparations for his return home; and as they try to rest while caring for John; pray for strength. We’ll keep you posted...Keep Praying!
